Beware very poor LCD screen quality on HP NX notebooks.......2005-09-01

Update: HP contacted me and advised that the poor screen quality was due to a manufacturing fault from a particular supplier, and are hence not charging me the restocking fee.

Below is my review for the NX6125. I can't confirm that the problems are also in the NX6120, but it is worth checking.
______________

Beware of the really poor screen quality on the NX6125 and NX8220 (and possibly other HP NX family notebooks, although the NX6120 I saw looked marginally better).

I purchased the HP NX6125, Turion ML-40, 2.2 GHz model based on specs, and after handling a non-powered-up demo model in the shop.

Upon setting the NX6125 up at home, I was aghast at the fuzzy LCD screen of the NX6125. In comparison to the screen of my older Omnibook 6000 and current Dell LCD desktop screens, the screen of the NX6125 and NX8200 have a gravelly, textured, cloudy, speckled appearance. The items in the Windows Start menu look fuzzy and washed out.

This is most noticeable if you look at a clear white area of the screen, such as a blank wordprocessor page. I am a writer, and the poor screen quality really shows through when you look at a pure white screen, such as a blank page on MS Word. The NX6125 screen almost has a two-layer effect, where the words which you type are on one plane, while the speckled appearance seems to lie in a plane behind. This drove me nuts, because, as I was concentrating on my writing, I was constantly distracted by the texture behind the words I was typing. This should not be. Ideally, the screen should appear as if it were a white sheet of paper -- as it does on my Omnibook, Dell LCD and host of other LCD screens I saw in the shop.

I started getting eyestrain after a short while of writing using this screen.

I thought I was being overly-picky, but I went to another computer shop, and overheard the salesman tell another customer that he had a problem of conscience recommending the new range of HP notebooks because the screens were so fuzzy. That comment was made before I spoke to that salesman, so that is two independent views.

I figured that the $300 re-stocking fee that HP is charging me for returning this unit, was better than wrecking my eyes by starring at this screen for many hours a day, for perhaps 3-4 years.

Buyers, beware, because you may not notice this effect of the NX6125 and NX8220 unless you make a side-by-side comparisson of the screen. It may not be evident in a very bright sunny room.
